From Campus to the Screen

At just 20 years old, Emad, a third-year Animation student at the American University of Madaba (AUM), is already turning imagination into impact. With hands-on experience in After Effects and Blender, and as part of Sketch in Motion, Emad’s journey shows how talent, discipline, and practice meet opportunity.

During the past six months, Emad worked as a Compositor on the Ramadan series “كوكب الرياض” for MBC—a creative story about an alien who accidentally lands on Earth and searches for a way back home. His role helped bring the show’s visual language to life, frame by frame.

This milestone builds on earlier professional experience. Three years ago, Emad contributed to “Street 13” for Dubai TV, a family drama exploring everyday tensions and relationships in Dubai—an early step that shaped his craft and confidence.

From lecture halls to regional screens, Emad’s path reflects what AUM stands for: learning by doing, creativity with purpose, and students who don’t wait for the future—they create it.
